A Local's Tour of the Heart of Rome

The Spanish Steps neighborhood is full of contrasts. We’ve got Via Condotti, filled with the big designer shops like Bulgari, Gucci, and Prada. Yet at the same time, there are age-old artisans like Lavori Artigianali Femminili. What I love about this area is that it is a real neighborhood. Yes, there are certainly tourists, but there are also those people who have been living here all their lives.
